Bauer Gear Motor launch latest S Series motor

摘要

Bauer Gear Motor GmbH have announced the launch of the world's first Ex-rated, IE4 super premium efficiency motor - the S Series. An IE4 rating is the highest energy efficiency that can currently be achieved in motor technology, making the S Series one of the most efficient motors for use in explosion hazard areas. The launch of the S Series means that applications which require motors to be specified and designed to meet ATEX classifications can now benefit from similar energy savings as found in other industrial areas. Currently, most Ex e (Increased Safety) rated variable-speed three-phase induction motors on the market are generally available in standard efficiency class IE1. While the efficiency of these can be improved with the addition of frequency inverters, Bauer say they still fall well short in comparison with the improved design of IE3.
